Lessig’s Groundbreaking “Code” Reissued

Lawrence Lessig, C. Wendell and Edith M. Carlsmith Professor of Law, has released a new edition of his pioneering 1999 book, Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace. Code: Version 2.0 proclaims itself “a translation of an old book—indeed in Internet time, it is a translation of an ancient text.” Lessig, who specializes in the crossover of technology and copyright law, notably used Wiki technologies to enable collaborative revision of the book. The book is licensed under Creative Commons, an online public copyright licensing service Lessig co-founded in 2001, and can be downloaded at http://codev2.cc.
